“Automotive Trials for Make-Before-Break 5G Edge Cloud Handover” webinar organised by 5G PPP Automotive Group
2020-07-13 12:00 - 13:00
Toyota, Vodafone and Ericsson jointly conducted Edge Computing trials at the Aldenhoven Testing Center in 2020. Goal was to get more insight on two research questions: Do file download- / upload-based applications, like for example HD Mapping, benefit from Edge Computing and what advantage will Make-Before-Break gateway switching (aka Session and Service Continuity (SSC) mode 3), provided by 5G Core, bring? The presentation and hopefully fruitful discussions around it will provide these insights. Experience shared should also help ongoing and future projects to setup and execute 5G Edge Computing trials, even if only 4G or non-standalone 5G networks are available for that.
Maciej Muehleisen (Ericsson Research) will present results and takeaways from Joint Trials of Toyota, Vodafone and Ericsson at the Aldenhoven Testing Center

Webinar outline:
The intense research work on 5G realisation has reached the point where the 5G capabilities are ready to be exploited by third party innovators, also referred to as vertical industries. In this context, the new ecosystem that emerges on service provisioning over 5G and beyond networks has two major stakeholders. On the one hand, the verticals that are ready to take advantage of the performance gains and the configuration flexibility that 5G brings; and, one the other hand, the operators (or infrastructure owners) that eventually have a rich toolbox based on the virtualisation and the network slicing features, which enables new business opportunities.
From the technological point of view, in the framework of 5GENESIS project coordination and 5G!Drones trial activities, Dr. Harilaos Koumaras and the Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications of NCSR “Demokritos” invite you to participate at the workshop entitled ”5G Experimentation Facilities and Vertical Trials: Current Status and Future Perspectives”, where the recent developments of the ICT-17 5G experimentation facilities and the ICT-19 vertical trials will be presented.

It thereby shows how to solve the problem of broadband wireless access in buildings and promotes the establishment of a global standard in ITU. This workshop presents the system architecture and its sub-systems, innovative virtual network functions and user applications and the system key performance results.

5G PPP Webinar: 5G for Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM)
2020-11-06 10:00 - 12:45 | Online Event, WEBINAR
INTRODUCTION:
This webinar was run in two parts with a short introduction from the European commission to start – Over 170 people attended the webinar.
The first part showed the ongoing CCAM work and the white paper produced by the three H2020-ICT-18-2018 5G PPP corridor projects:
5G-MoBiX, 5G-CARMEN and 5GCroCo ;

The CCAM white paper introduces the scope, use cases, trial sites and particularities of each of the three H2020-ICT-18-2018 5G PPP corridor projects: 5GCroCo, 5G-CARMEN and 5G-MoBiX. These projects address a number of technical, organizational, business and administrative challenges that the provision of CCAM functionality over 5G connectivity poses in highway and national border (corridors) environments. The projects are performing 5G-enabled Autonomous Driving AD trials at national border conditions and are drawing useful insights regarding the challenges and opportunities of provisioning 5G-enabled CCAM services in cross-border conditions. This white paper, a joint effort by the three projects, presents their preliminary results, based on currently available technological enablers, with the capacity to mitigate and/or resolve the above mentioned challenges. It also identifies and elaborates on the main concerns and challenges arising from deploying advanced CCAM use cases at regional borders.
The second part introduced the new CAM related Projects under the 5G-PPP ICT-53-2020 call:
5GBlueprint, 5GMED, 5G-ROUTES and 5GRail.

The challenge for the ICT-53 projects is to qualify and characterise the latest version of 5G specifications as available from 3G PP release 16 early 2020 (5G NR-V2X and beyond) in the context of advanced use cases deployment in Europe of CAM that may also benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. It targets use cases beyond C-ITS safety applications in view of enabling use cases in the context of complete connectivity-enabled ecosystems around cars and vehicles. It supports the realisation of the strategic objective of having all major transport paths covered with 5G connectivity by 2025 through cross-border trials along major transport paths planned for CAM deployment (“5G corridors”) and paves the way towards operational deployment as envisaged with the Connecting Europe Facility proposal. The work is also relevant to cross border railway corridors in view of providing services to trains, including in the context of the planned Future Railways Mobile Communication Systems (FRMCS) planned to replace GSM-R around 2030.
